Greetings to all, my HD7850 just died thanks to DA:I but it's mostly my fault for overpushing it..maybe. So i need some advices on new upgrades to run the game properly this time.
[Budget] 2k-3k range
Suggest me new casing, gpu, rams, ssd (if it's necessary)
[Purpose] Dragon Age: Inquisition on ultra settings!

[Hardwares that will be re-use] (Do advise if i need to change them as well..)
Intel i5 3470
Asus P8Z77-V LX
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Silverstone Strider Essential 500w
Lite-On DVD-RW
[Monitor resolution]1920x1080 1080p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Not much gaming atm but need it for up-coming games like GTA V

[Personal preferences] Since i still value my money i heard ATI Card has that Mantle function which may be good for my system granted i don't want to change my current CPU. But i would like to switch over to NVIDIA graphics..

Thanks in advance! =)

CPU side please take this rclxms.gif

its an i7 in disguise without graphics laugh.gif 4 core 8 threads not like the i5 4 core 4 threads

2014 and beyond games will suck more core power in CPU and i5 is no longer the kings like it used 2 be last time doh.gif

other parts let you decide haha icon_idea.gif

CPU:Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 3.3GHz RM700-800 - Estimated price,since the stated price was "Ask" lol.
GPU:Leadtek GTX970 Hurricane 4GB GDDR5 RM1180
RAM:Kingston Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM244
SSD:Intel 530 Series 120GB RM259
PSU:Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM299
Casing:Corsair Carbide Spec-03 RM219 -
Total:RM2901-3001
CPU is from Lingloong@GS,GPU is from Techview,the rest are from Viewnet@LYP. smile.gif

Better get the Xeon if you wanna play games like GTA V,the i5 you have might struggle.Games from the last year are utilising them cores too. sweat.gif

Thanks for the replies guys really appreciate it =)
So mm guess i have to change the cpu and xeon does seem ideal but may i know if 3rd generation i7 still viable for gaming nowadays? don't want to buy another new board when my current still usable and i can probably get used unit to cut cost. Also my silverstone 500w won't be enough for GTX970? =(
